This PDF will print at 100% on both "Letter" sized and "A4" sized paper (with room in the left margin for hole punching). Hello and welcome to one of many downloadable web editions of Mackie's Product Hook-Up Guide. [. . . ] Well, maybe not your life, but probably a lot of weeping and sorrow. And don't forget to check out the tech tips/FAQs document also available for download on the web at www. mackie. com/techsupport If you don't find the answers you're after, then why not give our mighty Tech Support gang a call?These folks have tons of experience in the real world, and they've got lots of equipment and mixers at their beck and call. They're aching to share their knowledge with you. (And calling them would be a very humanitarian thing to do -- they're located in the dank sub-basement of our building and they rarely get visitors. Your call just may be the one that keeps their spirits alive. ) Call Mackie Tech Support toll-free (in the U. S. ) at 800-258-6883 (Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time) with any Mackie productquestion you can conjure. Incidentally, the Mackie Product Hook-Up Guide (Web Editions) were put together from within the confines of the Mackie Digital Mosh Pit -- located on the second floor near the Area Of Refuge -- by the well-meaning, super-preening Mackie Macintosh Department. We used Adobe InDesign®, Illustrator®, Photoshop®, and Acrobat® on a number of suped-up big daddy Macs. Oh yeah: Copyright © 2002 Mackie Designs Inc.

A VISUAL GUIDE TS Plug (mono) COMMON PRO AUDIO PLUGS AND CONNECTORS Balanced XLR KNOW YOUR PLUGS Standard mono/unbalanced phone plug used for most mixer connections. TRS Plug (stereo) Standard XLR microphone connector to be used with mic-level. RCA/Phono Plug Standard stereo/balanced phone plug used for balanced connections on Mackie mixers. Tape deck connections on most Mackie mixers. Insert "Y" Cable The "Y" Cable is used for connecting serial effects devices, such as graphic equalizers or compressors, to a Mackie mixer's Channel or Bus insert jacks. On one end is a standard Tip-Ring-Sleeve "stereo" plug. Its tip and ring are wired to separate mono Tip-Sleeve plugs. Note that the RING of the TRS plug (A) is actually wired to the TIP of one of the mono TS plugs (B). If you insert a TS (mono) 1/4" plug only partially (to the first click) into an insert jack, the plug will not activate the jack switch and will not break the insert connection in the circuit (thereby allowing the channel signal to continue on its merry way through the mixer). See (C) in "Insert Points" below. [. . . ] Insert all the way in to the second "click. " TRS Plug (stereo) For use as an effects loop. (TIP = SEND to effects RING = RETURN from effects) MIXER INSERT COMPRESSOR OUT IN Figure B is a closeup of Figure A.
